They disable comments because the most popular comments are at the top. They don't want potential customers seeing those comments because most of them would probably be about how anti-consumer the Xbone is.

I hope Sony's PS division are focused enough to deliver on a good E3 presentation. After this week, if I was them, I'd be on a 14 day celebration spree partying like the console war has already been decided.

It just gets worse and worse for Microsoft and they only have themselves to blame. Even if their marketing department can save them, the PS4 is going to be picking up some serious momentum, three of my closest friends who are all Xbox only owners, have already said that PS4 is their console next gen and judging by the comments on here, I'd say many other 360 owners feel the same way. On the flip side, I doubt hardly any ps3 owners feel the need to switch to the Xbox One.

HAHAHAHA!I stated that 2 days ago...DAMAGE CONTROL!! Notice every gaming site has someone from MS trying to calm the consumers down as if we made this shit up. Like we came up with this foolishness all by ourselves. Those MORONS have no clue that they were the ones that shot themselves in the ass. Their unveiling practically made them look like they don't get it. FIRE WHOMEVER THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA

Ms know full we'll what they're doing. Non gaming folk (who they want to buy xbone) will see these damage control articles on main stream sites like the huffpo and think ' oh it's just those geeky gamers freaking out over nothing again, fools, look at the potential of the xbox1. Cloud computing is the future. I'm sold'.

And that's what ms does. They sell us the product they want us to have and not the product we want. The shame of it ........

No. In an interview after. When you create a profile and Kinect scans your face, you can sign in to you profile by just standing in front of the Kinect. This is the thing, because of the 'always on' cloud system you can step in front of another Xbone Kinect camera and it will sign you in by recognition, it's not magic MS is storing your identity at their HQ. Microsoft just increase there servers to 300,000 (I believe it was 10,000-20,000 before). That mixed w/ the fact the console, required Kinect to be connect or it won't work. Just look at the whole situation, you do the math.

I knew it! They are now trying to control our expression! This is the next step, they will try to retrack every video of their press conference! So that they can say that Phil Harrison the VP did not say those things about there being a used game fee. A periodic check of internet connection to their servers. Reactivating a used game. A fee for a used game(they did not say if the seller or buyer paid it). Also they want to hide the fact that if you use it with or as your cable box it will check the internet to continue playing tv! That way if internet goes out so does your tv!

What if xbox servers are attacked for 23 days like Sony's was you cant play games OR watch TV for 23 days straight!

So to combat this, everyone can download the press conference to your pc! Then later we can upload them to our favorite sites. One free way to download it is with a software called ILIVED. I love it it is free.

Good plan, you won't regret it. Unlike Microsoft, Sony is still releasing high quality games regularly, Last Of Us, Beyond or GT6 being the perfect examples. And you still have enough time to catch up on must-play games like God Of War, Uncharted, Journey, Metal Gear 4, Ni No Kuni, or Little Big Planet.

They probably thought there would be some vocal discontent on their policies(and arguably no matter what people would hate on them even if they were awesome). I mean I'm sure they saw the stuff about the rumors that popped up last month about all this. But all that did settle down pretty quickly. They probably thought that it would be like that again. We'd bitch for a few days, then it'd just go away to come up from time to time where no one would care anymore.

Now that much of that stuff is confirmed, at least in part, people are mad, and they just want it to go away...even blaming the media for the misconception.

I don't think they expected such a large part of their online fan base to go almost silent for several days, or worse, completely tell MS to go to hell, which is what is happening(side note: I think they broke greenpowerz). They probably thought their loyal fans would champion their cause, kind of like they did with the rumors where they just said "wait and see", or "it's just a rumor", or worse told us how it might be a good thing for whatever reason they could think of to make a blog post.

I know in the future when bad rumors come up, I'm going to point to this exact moment in time to show why we should be discussing issues before they get implemented.

Console world... meet Steam... if the sales and pricing reach Steam levels all of this will be forgotten... also you don't think EA dropped their online pass because just Microsoft is putting in something to deal with the after market do you?

Might be karma fucking with MS (if such thing exists) the only real solution as i see it would be trow the Xbone to the dumpster and start from scratch wich would probably give Sony a year head start but as i see it it would be more beneficial to MS in the long run...

They are digging themselves deeper and deeper in a hole right now. I mean come on this is not necessary, it's kind of like they really want to be seen as the big brother type with this and Kinect spying on people and blocking used game. M$ get your act together or just let Sony's stock rise for all I care at the end of the day I win :)

They need to back out their EA relationship, they're not worst company in America for nothing. And they need to drop the anti consumer nonsense. Otherwise they're really trying to die. Disabling comments is only damage control at it's finest.

Not looking good. Feels like they are still going ahead with their policies.

Sad really. As much as gamers don't like it a lot of xbox fans will still buy it.

Gone will be the good old days where you just buy a game, a complete one at that, pop it in and play.

Gone will be the days you buy a game and you own it completely and do whatever you want with it be it give it away to family and friends like you can do with any other product you buy with your own money.

Isn't this proof that MS are willing to interfere with the media in order to hide the truth from consumers? What will happen when you invite this into your homes and do it under the scrutiny of Kinect? People really need to consider what they are doing here. It's bad enough having cameras on every corner here in Britain but having one in your home too! Think carefully people.

So you're still buying into this MS disaster? You've obviously missed the important details then. Ohh, and I prefer my 360 to my PS3 now, just smart enough to know when stick with only Sony, as opposed to letting MS control too much and have their hands in to many pockets.
